His pioneering angel investment firm, Quick Angels Limited, has further supported Ghanaian brands such as Chickenman-Pizzaman, Sankofa Natural Spices, and Tigon Creative Studios, ventures that today employ thousands of young people and showcase Ghanaian potential on both national and international stages.
Beyond business, Quaye’s philanthropy has also been recognised.
His RNAQ Food Banks, launched in August 2025, have already provided free daily meals to more than 17,000 people across five locations.
Speaking to Forbes, Quaye underscored his philosophy that true success lies not just in profit, but in impact.
“When you invest in an individual in the business space, you are investing in the nation,” he said.
The Forbes feature signals not only personal recognition for Quaye, but also a growing acknowledgement of Ghanaian entrepreneurs building globally competitive enterprises from within the country.
